In the present work, we see a charming young red-headed girl with a large ornate hat on her arm being greeted by two humble gnomes who bow to her in a synchronized way. The scene is set on a stage-like space with a balustrade and floral elements forming the background. It's carefully rendered in a linear style, filled with subtle color, and features a running floral scroll as a border that contains a harmoniously crafted composition. The work was most likely done as an assignment for a children's fairytale book. unsigned. matted but not framed. Toned, creasing, and handling wear, but in very good condition. Mat size 12" x 12".
